So, then we should add a web server into our base! Apache? NGINX? Both?
But then, what about PHP? MySQL? PostgreSQL? We want to serve websites,
after all! Let's talk about fileservers. Samba! I could go on...

FreeBSD's power to serve slogan is about delivering the platform to
serve, not all possible server software. It just happens to have a mail
server in base because it always had, that's nothing that needs to be
kept forever. Probably 99% of the users don't use sendmail and the
remaining 1% know how to configure it, so installing them from ports is
a trivial thing for them.
